    The last couple of days I have had to full fill my duties here as Admin. I ask this question because Brothers Celtkin, Muck and staff wanted this site to be different, where everyone was family and the conversation was great, along with learning more each and every day. As I am doing my duties here it has become apparent why I enjoy this site more then other site on the web, it is the family and respect we have for one another. It is okay to agree or disagree with respect for the other family member.

    Please keep in mind the other family member you are talking to is a great brother or sister of our site. Give them the respect that you would like in return. If for some reason it doesn't work, perhaps a pm to that member, hey I am sorry I lost my cool, and I just want to apologize.

    If that doesn't work report it, and walk away. We will handle it as soon as we can. Please do not quote it, or try to solve the problem because that usually means more cleanup for us.:wink2:

    Last thought while I am on the soap box. Our ultimate goal is for all the over a thousand members we have here to enjoy the site every time they are on. There is more then one way to get your point across, please give it some thought when posting, was that the most respectful way to put it?

    Thanks!

    I like it because there are a lot of very knowledgeable people here about the draft and player position including technique, etc.

    The reason why I signed up to be a part of this board is because living in delaware is very hard to find phin fans. Not only have I found them here they are very knowledgeable about the phins and football in general.

    I've learned a lot :up:

    That... and I guess this is the only place in the world where I can come and be called anal gap :cry: :D

    The thing i like most about this site is that everyone here really doesn't have a problem with each other, and even though I'm one of the younger member, I still have friends on this site. I just feel that this is a great place to be and i love it here. Thanks for this great site guys!

    The ratio of intelligent posters compared to the opposite is much more favorable than on any other site.

    I guess more knowledge and a higher quality of input would be my favorite thing.

    That is so true.
    I can't think of a single bad poster.
    And I like that there are some real football people here. Not too many fairweather fans, which is surprising gived the season the fins have had.

    Not nearly proportion of knee-jerk posters as other sites, though, and I suppose its inevitable, they do appear to be increasing.

    Yeah, I'm glad that not a whole lot of new posters always get on this site, becuase I'm used to seeing a lot of the same people's post which makes this iste even better becuase you know everyone. :knucks:

    Sad, but true. I guess thats what happens when a team starts having success though.

    I can live with that trade-off :up:

    I just love this site. In the past 5 or 6 years I have logged onto many Phin sites and by far this is the most civil, knowledgable, and member friendly site I have visited. Not only is the football/Phin knowledge here 2nd to none, the other forums are also filled with knowledge/opinion/ and excellent debate. IMO there is no other forum on the net, football or otherwise, where I can get the information I wish to get along with a brotherhood with which to share it.

    The posters are great. There isn't that High School 'clique' feel that developed elsewhere. The Mods and Admin are more involved here as well and you don't get that 'abusive power trip' attitude from them. Layout is great, Pagan keeps the LL stocked with fresh meat, you can bust someone's chops a little and no-one blows their top. Overall it's pretty damn sweet.

    The thing I like the most is the way the people on this board actually relate to other members. It is a family type atmosphere, and from day one, thats what people have been saying about this board. When my friend Bryant died, John (FFIC) asked me for my phone number. I gave it to him, not sure if I'd hear from him, but he called me, just to let me know that he was a friend and there for me if I needed to talk, and would be there through this tough time. It meant alot to me then, and it still means alot to me, even now. This is truly a family, and I am glad to be a part of it!!

    Its family on here and you get some great reads. Only downside i have to point out and its minor is i lost my membership VIP. It had ran out. Never got a PM or was informed about it. Had to sign in and find out i couldnt get onto VIP forum. Not the best way to find out. Did feel like i wasnt needed. A message from a mod to let me know would have been nice. Will be joining VIP but when its closer to Draft time. Love the this site and will remain loyal to it. Big up.

    same here bro....i havent even met most of you, and i consider you friends....

    we even bust on anlgp, but me and him have had plenty of pm's asking eachother questions and what not, hes a friend in my book...

    and of course, the guys i HAVE met, from the ft lauderdale game to new york city......eric, sam, griddles, ken, warpie, mor, tex etc etc

    they are friends as well...we all share a comon bond...we all love the miami dolphins...

    this site is amazing....put it this way...i have 8 million posts here....and its been up a year.....finheaven was longer...i was there longer....and barely reached 1k....

    this place is home....the first and last place i check when i get online, i look forward to posts and responses from lucky, sam and hardkore....i actually care how zoom and AZ's day is going, or if they are going on vacation...

    i am genuinly happy when something awesome happens to a family member here...and i feel pain, when something tragic happens....these arent just user names...and other fans...its a family...its our family....and its the best place on the net...

    i am proud to know there are so many dolfans like me, who love this team and who love to debate and talk...we bust each others chops...and we get mean sometimes....but who hasnt fought with their brother? who hasnt had a tift with their mom? it happens...but the best part is....we always come back together....i love this place....i wouldnt change a damn thing!

    (except not letting ravens fans back here) :shifty::shifty:

    I liked when everyone treated me with respect... and then this punk SickFinFan33 had to show up.....................................

    But I really enjoy reading everyone's opinion about the draft when that time rolls around and of course, the GM League that occurs in February.

    I`ve said it a thousand times- This site is second to none! The "behind the scenes" crew are incredible operating a respectful,friendly Dolphins site thats a pleasure to call home. Thats why I come here every day. The wife says I`m just addicted,maybe that too.:up:

    The camaraderie is my first thought. The site is well organized and well managed. Folks are respectful to each other - even if they disagree. The negativity is very minimal in comparison to the "old" site that I won't mention. I love it here.

    I don't know where to start.
    Everyone on here has been so considerate, kind and helpful to me.
    When I first came in, Mal, Mary & Marty helped me so much. Crunch gave me a Marino award a long time ago and took the time to explain things to me.
    I feel I really have a home here and many friends.
    Sam, Hardcore, Opie & some of you other guys keep me laughing, even on my worst days.
    I have to make myself log out to get anything done. I sit here 'till my back is in serious pain. LOL
    John has been here for me & my family in ways that are un-believable. The things all of you did during the holidays is beyond kind and generous. George going and getting things set to mail etc. There's just no way to thank all of you.
    I sometimes visit other sites and can't believe some of the stuff I read. Here it's safe and no one acts like jerks. There's seldom any personal attacks and if there are, it's taken care of quickly.
    I love bragging about our site to any one I can get to listen.
    I truly love all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being here and letting me join you in our love for the Dolphins.
    Didn't mean to write a book, but you guys just all make me so emotional. :cry: But, that's fine, I'm really old enough to be most of your moms or grandmas. So, behave yourselves......:wink2:
    Thanks every one!
    Love You,
    Debby

    Sorry about that bro.

    Simply a limitation of the software. We had no way of notifying people unless we caught it ourselves. If we didn't, the system automatically made the changes when your subscription ran out.

    That has since been resolved. ;)
